cuegui doesn't remember last open windows

[mmichaelc]

Describe the bug
We've just updated to opencue 1.3.
When running cuegui it only opens CueCommander and not Cuetopia by default.

To Reproduce
I see that it's meant to remember the last open windows but that only happens if the application is closed with File->Exit Application.
Just clicking the 'X' on Cuetopia or CueCommander doesn't save the last open windows and so the next time cuegui is run only CueCommander is opened.

Expected behavior
I'd expect it to remember the preferred open windows. This is how it used to work before opencue 1.0

Version Number
1.3

Hmm.. not sure it's a bug. What you're describing is actually closing the windows one by one and therefor they aren't actually open when you close the app (by closing the last window).

I believe that before 1.0 there was a bug that would not make it read the window state file correctly, and would always open the default windows (Cuecommander and Cuetopia).

By default it will save the window states when exiting the application. What might be better is to make that optional, which means that you can save a desired state (when selecting "Save window settings") and always return to that state again, not matter how you close the app.

Yes, I came to the same conclusion. I think what can happen (it has for me) is someone will close the cuetopia window first and then cuecommander and so the last saved state is just cuecommander open.
Our workaround is to use Exit Application but that's not always remembered.

I think it would be nice to have what you suggest, a menu option to save window settings.

Thanks
